Abstract excerpt
The development of malignant tumors of the peripheral nervous system (schwannomas) within a defined intracranial section of the rat trigeminal nerve ("trigeminal box") was used as a model to identify genetic alterations typically associated with the process of cell-lineage-specific oncogenesis induced by exposure to N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea on postnatal day 1. All 47 trigeminal schwannomas (and 12 extracranial...
